    Default Another minor problem

    hey
    i was driving on the freeway going 100kmh.
    after about 10 mins of constant driving, as i accelerated to keep up to speed it felt like i was going over grooves in the road, so ide feel a small vibration from under my feet. only on accereleration and only every 3 or so seconds.
    anyone have an idea of what it could be? its not terribly noticeable when it happens. but i noticed it.
    ( the road was new and there were no bumps)
    cheers, sabby

    If the red PWR light was not on, it's probably the lock up converter doing it...

    Just try doing the same thing and when it does it push the button and keep driving the same, does it still do it??
